It is always self-defeating to pretend to a generation young

Summary

This quote emphasizes the foolishness and futility of trying to conform or pretend to belong to a younger generation. By doing so, one not only disregards their own valuable life experiences and wisdom gained through history but also fails to authentically connect with the younger generation. It highlights the importance of embracing and sharing one's own unique experiences rather than trying to erase or deny them in an attempt to fit in or be accepted by a younger age group.
